Hike, kayak and learn: conservation on Oregon’s coast
Here’s a great way to help protect the Oregon Coast: Check out Tillamook County’s Explore Nature events: Take a guided walk through a salt marsh. Kayak with a naturalist. Meet an oceanographer for shark talks. Volunteer at Alder Creek Farm. Restore an estuary. Clean a beach.
Oregon Coast conservation success
In Tillamook County conservation groups collaborate to showcase their efforts to conserve natural resources and restore biodiversity of spectacular beaches, wetlands and rainforests. Tillamook County boasts seven major rivers, five major estuaries, plus beaches and forests.
Every year these groups work together to create an Explore Nature series that highlights the precious, threatened nature of the Oregon Coast from Manzanita and the Cape Falcon Marine Reserve in the north, to Pacific City and Nestucca Bay in the south. This area includes Cape Meares, Cape Lookout, and Oswald West State Park.
Let’s protect this place!
